IEEE student branch to hold Arduino workshops starting 4/1

TL;DR: UMBC’s IEEE student branch will hold free weekly workshops on Arduino starting next week. Register at http://bit.ly/OVzA1f.

The Arduino micro-controller is a great device for anyone who wants to learn more about technology. It is used in a variety of fields in research and academia as well as by hobbyists. Arduino can be used for projects ranging from quadcopters to thermal cyclers  and even wearable electronics. Here is more information about the Arduino.

The workshops are intended for ANY student from ANY major and only require a basic understanding of basic programming concepts such as if-statements and loops. The majority of the code will be provided.

The Arduino workshops are offered on a weekly basis at two levels: Level 1 for those new to Arduino and Level 2 for students who have completed Level 1 or have a basic familiarity with Arduino. The Level 1 workshop is offered on Tuesday and Wednesday from 7:00pm to 9:00pm starting the week of April 1st. You may select to participate in either our Tuesday lecture or Wednesday lecture. The Level 2 workshop is only offered on Thursday from 7:00pm to 9:00pm starting the week of April 1st as well. For both workshops, you will need to bring your laptop and you must able to download the Arduino IDE.
